Jayvie is many things:

I'm a Maryland resident. A self-avowed WordPress Whisperer, I use it in all my projects. I take lovely photos, go to the gym a lot, and opine strongly over design, aesthetics, and politics. I'm a heavy Twitter user, a moderate Flickr participant and in my spare time I help people at the SemperFi WP Support forums. Read more about me.

Safety first

Dodd Harris has the update on a story that enraged me weeks ago. It all boils down to a question: “When you flash your lights to warn people of a speed trap, do you stymie the efforts of police in catching lawless drivers, or do you help in keeping the roads safe?”

A 75 year-old Tennessee man was ticketed and fined in August for flashing his lights to warn other drivers that there was a cop ahead. Apparently, this act of courtesy is a violation of “a city ordinance making it illegal to interfere with a police officer in the course of his duties.”

Judge dismissed the citation on the grounds of free speech, no less.
